Thus, according to the circumstances, it is the first ClickClickDecker album, in which other musicians were involved in addition to Hamann.
In an interview, Hamann said afterwards that Bade and Stangl had brought a “new wind” to his music. With the arrangements, however, he mainly implemented his own ideas. Overall, he had to get used to the fact that the work was tedious and not so spontaneous. Nevertheless, in retrospect, he is very satisfied with both the work process and the result.

reception
The Hamburger Abendblatt found that Hamann's texts were “as usual poetic and strong associations”, but sometimes difficult to decipher. Musically, worn guitar melodies dominated, combined with "electronic sprinkles" that supported the vocals well. The passages in which only the guitar and the vocals are in the foreground are outstanding.
For the music magazine Intro , Linus Volkmann wrote that Hamann is returning to the "classic guitar pain" with the circumstances . Nevertheless, the album is not just a copy of the previous releases, but is "musically inspired".
